Heart Around the World — February Valentine Project
In February, our class carried out a Valentine’s Day themed project called “Heart Around the World.” Through this meaningful project, children had the opportunity to connect and exchange Valentine’s cards with kindergartens from different parts of the world, as well as with their own family members. Participating countries included the United States, Canada, Taiwan, the Netherlands, and Malaysia, and some parents from our class also took part in the exchange.
At the beginning of the project, the children designed and created their own Valentine’s cards. Using drawings, decorations, and simple written messages, they expressed their love and well wishes in each card. Once completed, the cards were turned into postcards, ready to be sent to friends around the world.
As part of a real-life learning experience, the children visited the post office to buy stamps and learned how to send mail. They actively participated in sticking the stamps and posting the cards, experiencing the process of sending mail from our city to different parts of the world. In total, we sent out *50 postcards filled with love and warm wishes.
Over time, postcards from different countries began arriving at our classroom. Each time a new envelope arrived, the children gathered excitedly to open it together and discover the cards and messages from their friends far away. Every postcard brought new surprises and sparked the children’s curiosity about different places around the world.
The children looked forward to receiving new mail every day. This authentic exchange experience not only brought joy and excitement but also helped them feel the warmth of friendship and connection from around the world.
Through the “Heart Around the World” project, children developed their creativity and expressive skills while also experiencing the joy of communication, sharing, and global connection.
